So, hurry up before the warmer weather turns your house into a sauna, turn your oven on and bake this crisp!

Even though you won’t find any refined sugar, butter or flour in this nutritious dessert, there will not be any trouble getting rid of the delicious sweet treat. It’s a crowd-pleaser, that’s for sure.

This is the ultimate lazy girl’s dessert recipe. It’s rustic, fuss-free, only requires the fruit and a few pantry staples and is entirely gluten free and vegan. I have a few crisp recipes on the blog and they’re all pretty similar and have all been a major success. I basically just change up the fruit combo- blueberry and peach, pear and cranberry and apple.

The magic begins by heating cinnamon dusted apples in a cast-iron skillet. If you don’t have one, this is the perfect excuse to buy one. They’re super cheap and make everything taste better. You can use a pie plate and skip pre-cooking the apple slices, but I really like how cooking them makes them all cinnamony and soft.

For the crisp topping, we’re working with oats and almond meal; which gives the crisp such a nice nutty flavor and hearty texture. The crisp topping and slightly tart fruit filling are pretty much a match made in food heaven.

Yes, this makes a large amount, enough for 8 and I’m a little embarrassed to admit, but my husband, Landen and I had this gone in one day. It’s that good! I know you’re family will be crazy about this crisp too. It’s:

Nutty Fruity Warm Healthy Comforting And outrageously awesome

Now off you go… get yourself in the kitchen and bake this yumminess up!
